netmap: refactor logging macros and pipes

Changelist:
    - Replace ND, D and RD macros with nm_prdis, nm_prinf, nm_prerr
      and nm_prlim, to avoid possible naming conflicts.
    - Add netmap_krings_mode_commit() helper function and use that
      to reduce code duplication.
    - Refactor pipes control code to export some functions that
      can be reused by the veth driver (on Linux) and epair(4).
    - Add check to reject API requests with version less than 11.
    - Small code refactoring for the null adapter.

netmap: align codebase to the current upstream (760279cfb2730a585)

Changelist:
  - Replace netmap passthrough host support with a more general
    mechanism to call TXSYNC/RXSYNC from an in-kernel event-loop.
    No kernel threads are used to use this feature: the application
    is required to spawn a thread (or a process) and issue a
    SYNC_KLOOP_START (NIOCCTRL) command in the thread body. The
    kernel loop is executed by the ioctl implementation, which returns
    to userspace only when a different thread calls SYNC_KLOOP_STOP
    or the netmap file descriptor is closed.
  - Update the if_ptnet driver to cope with the new data structures,
    and prune all the obsolete ptnetmap code.
  - Add support for "null" netmap ports, useful to allocate netmap_if,
    netmap_ring and netmap buffers to be used by specialized applications
    (e.g. hypervisors). TXSYNC/RXSYNC on these ports have no effect.
  - Various fixes and code refactoring.

netmap: align codebase to the current upstream (sha 8374e1a7e6941)

Changelist:
    - Move large parts of VALE code to a new file and header netmap_bdg.[ch].
      This is useful to reuse the code within upcoming projects.
    - Improvements and bug fixes to pipes and monitors.
    - Introduce nm_os_onattach(), nm_os_onenter() and nm_os_onexit() to
      handle differences between FreeBSD and Linux.
    - Introduce some new helper functions to handle more host rings and fake
      rings (netmap_all_rings(), netmap_real_rings(), ...)
    - Added new sysctl to enable/disable hw checksum in emulated netmap mode.
    - nm_inject: add support for NS_MOREFRAG

This was intended to be a non-functional change. It wasn't. The commit
message was thus wrong. In addition it broke arm, and merged crypto
related code.

Revert with prejudice.

This revert skips files touched in r316370 since that commit was since
MFCed. This revert also skips files that require $FreeBSD$ property
changes.

Thank you to those who helped me get out of this mess including but not
limited to gonzo, kevans, rgrimes.

This commit contains large contributions from Giuseppe Lettieri and
Stefano Garzarella, is partly supported by grants from Verisign and Cisco,
and brings in the following:

- fix zerocopy monitor ports and introduce copying monitor ports
  (the latter are lower performance but give access to all traffic
  in parallel with the application)

- exclusive open mode, useful to implement solutions that recover
  from crashes of the main netmap client (suggested by Patrick Kelsey)

- revised memory allocator in preparation for the 'passthrough mode'
  (ptnetmap) recently presented at bsdcan. ptnetmap is described in
        S. Garzarella, G. Lettieri, L. Rizzo;
        Virtual device passthrough for high speed VM networking,
        ACM/IEEE ANCS 2015, Oakland (CA) May 2015
        http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/research.html

- fix rx CRC handing on ixl

- add module dependencies for netmap when building drivers as modules

- minor simplifications to device-specific routines (*txsync, *rxsync)

- general code cleanup (remove unused variables, introduce macros
  to access rings and remove duplicate code,

Applications do not need to be recompiled, unless of course
they want to use the new features (monitors and exclusive open).

Those willing to try this code on stable/10 can just update the
sys/dev/netmap/*, sys/net/netmap* with the version in HEAD
and apply the small patches to individual device drivers.

<title>When a netmap process terminates without the full set of buffers it</title>

was granted via rings and ni_bufs_list_head represented in those rings
and lists (e.g., via SIGKILL), those buffers are no longer available
for subsequent users for the lifetime of the system. To mitigate this
resource leak, reset the allocator state when the last ref to that
allocator is released.

Note that this only recovers leaked resources for an allocator when
there are no longer any users of that allocator, so there remain
circumstances in which leaked allocator resources may not ever be
recovered - consider a set of multiple netmap processes that are all
using the same allocator (say, the global allocator) where members of
that set may be killed and restarted over time but at any given point
there is one member of that set running.

Based on intial work by adrian@.

Mostly bugfixes or features developed in the past 6 months,
so this is a 10.1 candidate.

Basically no user API changes (some bugfixes in sys/net/netmap_user.h).

In detail:

1. netmap support for virtio-net, including in netmap mode.
  Under bhyve and with a netmap backend [2] we reach over 1Mpps
  with standard APIs (e.g. libpcap), and 5-8 Mpps in netmap mode.

2. (kernel) add support for multiple memory allocators, so we can
  better partition physical and virtual interfaces giving access
  to separate users. The most visible effect is one additional
  argument to the various kernel functions to compute buffer
  addresses. All netmap-supported drivers are affected, but changes
  are mechanical and trivial

3. (kernel) simplify the prototype for *txsync() and *rxsync()
  driver methods. All netmap drivers affected, changes mostly mechanical.

4. add support for netmap-monitor ports. Think of it as a mirroring
  port on a physical switch: a netmap monitor port replicates traffic
  present on the main port. Restrictions apply. Drive carefully.

5. if_lem.c: support for various paravirtualization features,
  experimental and disabled by default.
  Most of these are described in our ANCS'13 paper [1].
  Paravirtualized support in netmap mode is new, and beats the
  numbers in the paper by a large factor (under qemu-kvm,
  we measured gues-host throughput up to 10-12 Mpps).

A lot of refactoring and additional documentation in the files
in sys/dev/netmap, but apart from #2 and #3 above, almost nothing
of this stuff is visible to other kernel parts.

Example programs in tools/tools/netmap have been updated with bugfixes
and to support more of the existing features.

This is meant to go into 10.1 so we plan an MFC before the Aug.22 deadline.

A lot of this code has been contributed by my colleagues at UNIPI,
including Giuseppe Lettieri, Vincenzo Maffione, Stefano Garzarella.

- netmap pipes, providing bidirectional blocking I/O while moving
  100+ Mpps between processes using shared memory channels
  (no mistake: over one hundred million. But mind you, i said
  *moving* not *processing*);

- kqueue support (BHyVe needs it);

- improved user library. Just the interface name lets you select a NIC,
  host port, VALE switch port, netmap pipe, and individual queues.
  The upcoming netmap-enabled libpcap will use this feature.

- optional extra buffers associated to netmap ports, for applications
  that need to buffer data yet don't want to make copies.

- segmentation offloading for the VALE switch, useful between VMs.

and a number of bug fixes and performance improvements.

My colleagues Giuseppe Lettieri and Vincenzo Maffione did a substantial
amount of work on these features so we owe them a big thanks.

There are some external repositories that can be of interest:

    https://code.google.com/p/netmap
        our public repository for netmap/VALE code, including
        linux versions and other stuff that does not belong here,
        such as python bindings.

    https://code.google.com/p/netmap-libpcap
        a clone of the libpcap repository with netmap support.
	With this any libpcap client has access to most netmap
	feature with no recompilation. E.g. tcpdump can filter
	packets at 10-15 Mpps.

    https://code.google.com/p/netmap-ipfw
        a userspace version of ipfw+dummynet which uses netmap
        to send/receive packets. Speed is up in the 7-10 Mpps
        range per core for simple rulesets.

Both netmap-libpcap and netmap-ipfw will be merged upstream at some
point, but while this happens it is useful to have access to them.

And yes, this code will be merged soon. It is infinitely better
than the version currently in 10 and 9.
